San Jose Spring Camp

'25 details TBD

SAN JOSE, CA

San Jose Spring Break Camp

Here, we put kids in charge.

Preposterous? Possibly. Effective? You betcha.

When you trust kids, they trust themselves. For 43 years, we’ve put kids in charge of their own learning experience. As they try, fail, and learn on their own, they learn to trust their own judgment, and tackle the challenges of an ever changing world with creativity and confidence.

Campers choose activities minute to minute–deciding what they want to do, and for how long. Our job is to get out of their way, cheerlead creative risks, and provide just enough guidance to make sure nobody does anything totally* senseless.

*Totally senseless: By our definition, mistakes aren’t senseless. They’re how you learn.

Buy any number of days. Use them any time. Get refunds for unused days.

Buy any number of Day Passes to use any day we’re open this spring session. You don’t even need to tell us when you’re coming–just show up! And if for any reason your plans change, we’ll refund your unused Passes automatically in full at spring’s end.

Lunch, snacks, and all hours, 8am–6pm, included.

Activities for Every Interest

Campers will design their day in real-time by choosing from a variety of activities offered at once. In the early morning and late afternoon, campers ramp up and wind down with recreational choices. For the bulk of the day, children will choose from the activities listed below. While we can’t say exactly what the day will look like, one thing is for sure: The campers are in control.

Testimonials From Our Summer Camps in the South Bay

My daughter attends this location and the campus director and his staff go out of their way to accommodate your want/ needs for your child. The camp has plenty of cool activities for your child to do each day and provide snacks and food for the kids. Lots to choose from. Would definitely recommend this camp!

(S&K parent)

I highly recommend Steve and Kate's, and if you are going to do it, have them go for at least 2 weeks, if not more. The activities, like badges, game shows, etc that they do build up over time and the kids get to understand the ins and outs and love it. Great, great camp.
